Abstract (en)

[origin: US5997019A] PCT No. PCT/EP95/03291 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 28, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 28, 1997 PCT Filed Aug. 18, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/09953 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 4, 1996A manually propelled device includes two base modules having at least two wheels interconnected by a pedal element. The device is provided with at least four wheels which are parallel with each other. The pedal elements each interconnect two of the wheels and are fixed to the two interconnected wheels at points off-set from the centers of the two wheels. A shaft interconnects the centers of one of the wheels of each of the modules, thereby interconnecting the modules. Pedaling of the pedal elements by the feet of an operator serves to cause rotation of the wheels in a same rotating direction to propel the device in a selected linear direction.
